Line 2.0.6ing of the Foundation Stone of the
Line 2.0.7new building, and the resetting of
Line 2.0.8the original foundation stone of the
Line 2.0.9old building which ,was destroyed by

Line 2.1.0.Tho President' (Mr tW. H; Williams))
Line 2.1.1in his opening.address, referred, to.the
Line 2.1.2great: loss and inconvenience the res-
Line 2.1.3idents had been put- to . through the

Line 2.2.0destruction of the old building, but ,
Line 2.2.1he;felt sure they would appreciate the '
Line 2.2.2efforts of,'the committee to give.them..
Line 2.2.3somothing better in the new promises
Line 2.2.4which were; to be of brick. The

Line 2.3.0contractor, Mr James Dunn, was
Line 2.3.1making good headway, with the struc
Line 2.3.2ture which would cost approximately
Line 2.3.3£1700, towards- which £315 had already
Line 2.3.4been subscribed by local pepple, plus

Line 2.3.14peeded. Although it was some .time since
